Scene: Calain, Dr Tes, Poke
As the Calain readies his action two zombies emerge from the bushes heading right for the line. The first one moves right at Dr. Zes. Calain's first attack misses the creature but his second attack does hit. He pushes the creature 5 feet away from Dr. Tes. Calain injures but does not put the creature down.
The second zombie veers towards the goblin while staying outside of Calain's reach. It closes the gap and gets next to the goblin meal (poke poke). He only gets a move action this round.
Summary of positions: The adventurers are on a small bunny trail. Poke is leading the way, Dr Tes is in the middle, Calain is following. The Zombies emerge in the middle by Dr. Tes. Calain strikes with his reach weapon the zombie going towards Dr. Tes. The second zombe emerges and veers towards Poke and he avoids an AOO.

"Ah, undead! Likely a straggler from the Balltle Between Evil and Everyone Else! Do put them down quickly, I hear a bear nearby and bears are F#~$ING TERRIFYING!" Tes takes out his dagger and readies an attack if one of the wretches come near.

Scene: Bradan and Aggrah
Bradan misses the bear...once again. The black bear growls and swipes at the roasting meat.
It snatches a meal and begins to run away on it's hobbled leg. The bear takes another route on its departure.
Scene: Calain, Dr Tes, Poke
Poke avoids the zombie that headed directly at him and moves into flanking position with the Calain. The quick goblin slashes with it's dagger but the wound had pinpoint accuracy. The zombie crumbles to the ground destroyed.
Dr. Tes in a desperate attempt to defend himself slices the second zombie with his dagger, dealing it damage.

Seeing the beast leave them with only gashed wounds and bleeding tracks across his flesh, Bradan considers himself lucky and watches it go.
"Yeah, you too, mister bear! We could've been friends, but you had to go and try to eat me instead of that bunny first! Gah!"
Bradan then slumps on the ground and lets his glaive-guisarm down alongside him, feeling the dump of adrenaline leave his poor torn body.
"I'm just gonna take a second, patch these up, okay, Arragh?"
He draws out his healer's kit and binds the worst of the wounds, using some herbal antiseptic Brena taught him ages ago.
vs DC 15.
HP healed
Once he's caught his breath and covered up the worst of the bear wounds, he looks around for his arrow that missed. He hears the crack of the snapped shaft just as he sees his foot come down on it, and he sighs.
"Well, that could have gone worse, I suppose. Rations for dinner, I guess?"

Beorn you hear two merchants chatting about an execution.
Merchant 1: "they got 'im'
Merchant 2: "'bout time and guud riddance."
M1: "had a ship pirated once by 'im. Stole ov'r 12,000 in gold and merchandise."
M2: "me too...bad things happen'd do to him. But the people love him."
M1: "Hope we see 'im tried and kilt."
Bron heads back to camp and walks over to Beorn.
Hey Beorn, found something interestin, there is an execution for Bloody Captain Jack on Oathday 21.
Bron opens the parchment so that the text is facing towards Beorn.

"Never mind others who speak of your racial handicaps, human! You've got this!"
Damn bear! Dinner was almost ready. Travel rations it is.
Before settling back down for a MUCH less appealing dinner Aggrah helps Bradan with his wounds, letting the healing magic flow through her hands
Beorn looks at the parchment
Dr, do yourself a favor and get behind me. NOW!
Calain holds his position since Dr Tes was between him and the Zombie, he readies himself and holds to allow the doctor to make a move and retreat behind the big fighter.
"Thanks. I didnt know you could do magic, that was quite something. I don't think I'm gonna even have any big scars. Wow."
Bradan packs up his gear and weapons, making sure to clean and dry the blade of his polearm and clear any debris from his bow.
"Well, I must look like quite the mighty hunter after that display. Sorry for missing so badly. "

Scene: Calain, Dr Tes, Poke
Calain pushes with his lucerine hammer but misses the Zombie. The brain hungry creature steps 5 feet inside the pole
A strike made with a two-handed weapon can push a similar sized opponent backward.
Prerequisites: Str 15, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: When you hit a creature your size or smaller with a two-handed weapon attack modified by the Power Attack feat, you can choose to push the target 5 feet directly away from you instead of dealing the extra damage from Power Attack. If you score a critical hit, you can instead push the target 10 feet directly away from you. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunities, and the target must end this move in a safe space it can stand in. You choose which effect to apply after the attack roll has been made, but before the damage is rolled.
The zombie uses it's dead hand to slam down on warrior with the long stick.

Bradan and Aggrah you hear voices. One sounds high pitched and like gibberish, while a second voice firmly states … behind me. NOW!. These voices are coming from the direction where the bear emerged from.
Scene: Bron and Beorn
You fortunately are not thrust into any more conflict with the guards and caravan master during the evening, but you both slept lightly just in case. Before dawn the camp stirs.
With that everyone in the camp begins to hustle to get moving again. There is excitement in the air...IT'S EXECUTION DAY!
"Ugh...sounds like theres more folks out here. we should probably see if that bear is gonna mess with them too."
Bradan scoops his pack up and settles it onto his shoulders, before kicking sod down over the fire hole.
He straps his polearm in place and gets his bow ready before moving towards the sound of the voices.
"Hello! If you can hear me, watch out for a hungry bear, he almost ate me before he swiped our dinner!"
guess there's no chance of a peaceful dinner tonight.
Aggrah follows Bradan to investigate what else is going bump in the night
♫♪ Hunt the meat
That bleeds and cries
Hobble feet

Poke Poke slides around to the back side of the smell old longshank
"Is that...singing?"
Scene: Calain, Dr Tes, Poke
If it's only 10ft away, Calain Would 5ft step away first, putting a creature at 15ft. I wasn't sure the distance in the post and Should have taken the 5ft step back first to put it 15ft away.
It's a nice combo, but only works on the assumption the attacks hit. If they miss it's worthless. That's why he needs to wear a Cestus so he can Punch if he gets stuck.
I have heard people cheer AOO reach builds on the boards for Years but never committed to playing one. I am not sure how good it's going to be at low levels before Wpn FCS, Gloves of Dealing and a sash of the war champion via char wealth could mitigate to hit penalty. Right now Calain is only as accurate as a warrior.
Chucks of the undead brain eater hang from the tattered zombie's body, but it still presses it's attack.

Break their fing....
Hey, did you hear that? More dead longshanks coming."
"Off me, you ghoulish swine! I'm trying to hear my friend's song!"
Dr. Tes steps up and slices more meat off the zombie, it crumbles to the ground. Soon, thereafter, the singing goblin and elf break out in a victory song, noting how they destroyed the evil forces of the undead. Meanwhile the grumpy human grumbles about his two kills being stolen.
Ham it up you two. Everyone, ALWAYS, cheers about the brave warriors who stab foes in the back. I never stop hearing about.....oh wait, no they don't tell tales about brave Rogue's who stab people in the back, do they?
Bradan continues towards the sound of singing, cautious in the bear-infested woods.
"Hello! Did a bear come through this way, possibly limping and carrying half a roasted rabbit?"

"Hello! Did a bear come through this way, possibly limping and carrying half a roasted rabbit?"
You can follow the voices. "...Everyone, ALWAYS, cheers..."
Stepping out to find a goblin, an elf, and a human standing over the bodies of two rotting undead creatures, Bradan raises his hands (bow still in his left, but no arrow readied) and greets them.
"Oh hello there. I see you found some trouble yourselves. Might we be of assistance? Also, there's a bear about back that way, he seemed mighty cranky to me."
Shut up Grumpy, always complaining. You should be thanking Doctor and Poke Poke.
As the longshank stranger steps through the tall grass
"See Poke Poke was right another dead longshanks. Quick Doctor lets get him before Grump complains some more.
Beorn finally wakes up and stretches, gargling with some salt water before heading out towards where the grim place of pirate killing is going to happen.

Calain ignores the Barb from the Goblin and focus on the Doctor.
I honestly don't know why you tolerate the Goblin. His kind would eat you if they were hungry enough. One more nights travel and I'll be home again and bid you farewell.Glad to see another human Calain grounds the head of his Polearm.
Ho, Stranger. Haven't seen a bear but considering the dead here it might not be a coincidence. Name and Intentions?
"Hello. My name is Bradan. We were heading towards Fentonville, when that bear I talked about came up and tried to chew on us. Luckily, we managed to drive it off without loss of life or limb. How about you lot?"
Bradan looks at the goblin offering to leave him dead like the zombies, hand tightening on his bow.
"Hello goblin. We are not dead, and any intention to make that so would be most....unfortunate."
"Hello goblin. We are not dead, and any intention to make that so would be most....unfortunate."
"It talks, must be the leader of them."
"It? That seems rude. I take it you don't have a lot of experience in polite society. It's considered rude to refer to someone as an it, or to take about them as if they're not standing in front of you."
Bradan breathes a bit easier, considering the newcomers less of a threat now.
"So, you lot heading to Fentonville, too? Did you hear about the trial starting up tomorrow?"
